I had been moving some gravel with the loader and was losing responsiveness and most control of the front end and stopped the tractor. There is a single steering cylinder mounted centrally on the front axle. The four screws holding cylinder to the axle had come loose (but did not lose screws!). So there was evidently enough force in the PS hydraulics to move the rods/arms but the flopping around of the cylinder made the steering a bit wonky. Anyway I re-torqued the four screws to batten down the cylinder but now the steering is still not responsive. I can turn the wheel and get some movement but it is like there is a lag. BTW the ball joints are quite worn. Additional observation...I checked the PS reservoir thinking I did not have enough fluid but it was completely full, in fact it over flowed the hole when I removed the pressure relief canister that screws into the top of reservoir. Any ideas as to how I should tune get my steering working properly again?
